The study evaluates the analytical performance of a dual-column liquid chromatography-tandem mass-spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for isavuconazole quantification. The method shows good linearity, precision, and recovery. Serum samples are stable for at least 3 days at room temperature and should be collected in tubes without separator gel.
Objectives Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of isavuconazole, which is a novel broad-spectrum antimycoticum against invasive fungal infections, ensures an effective exposure of the drug and minimizes the risk of toxicity. This study is aimed at evaluating the analytical performance of a dual-column liquid chromatography-tandem mass-spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for isavuconazole quantification. Materials and Methods The method was performed on a Voyager TSQ Quantum triple quadrupole instrument equipped with an Ultimate 3000 chromatography system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, California, United States). Analytical and preanalytical requirements of the isavuconazole LC-MS/MS method were evaluated. Sample stability measurements were performed at room temperature (RT) and in serum tubes with separator gel. Results The isavuconazole LC-MS/MS method was linear over the concentration range of 0.2 to 12.8 mg/L. The coefficient of determination (r(2)) always exceeded 0.999. Within- and between-run precision ranged between 1.4 to 2.9% and 1.5 to 3.0%, the recovery between 93.9 and 102.7%. At RT, serum samples were stable for 3 days. Isavuconazole serum concentrations were significantly lower after incubation (18 hours) in serum tubes with separator gel at RT. Conclusion The dual-column isavuconazole LC-MS/MS is a reliable tool for the TDM of isavuconazole. Serum samples are stable for at least 3 days and should be collected in tubes without separator gel.
